Did you do any of the plastics and did you do inside the door? I don't know if I want to pull the carpet, front seats, headliner, etc to do the whole car, but would imagine that I would need at least another roll or two to do that. What did you do and did you just do patches of matting or full covering? I hear that it isn't necessary to lay it down completely; 25% coverage on a panel might be enough to reduce 90% of what full coverage would do--something like that. |
36 Sq Ft is what I used as well. I removed the door panels and did the doors and inside (where the windows rest, was kind of a pain). Removed the backseat side panels and did those. Can't remember if I did the bottom of the rear seats but they're easy to remove.
I also did the rear shelf (where the 3rd brake light sits). In the trunk looking upwards where the trunk light is, the trunk itself (my first gen base model doesn't have one of those fancy liners and lastly under the trunk mat where the spare tire sits.
I would think you need another roll or two if you wanted to do the roof and floor, but like you mentioned I've never removed those items before and not sure if it's held on by a glue that I don't want to disturb. I did mention earlier when I park under trees and acorns fall on my roof I can hear the stock "ding" sound instead of a solid "thump" when you don't have the deadening. It's pretty interesting, you should experiment by knocking lightly on a panel that doesn't have the sound deadening, apply it and then knock lightly again to hear the difference.
I cut mine up into weird squares and rectangles and slapped them on. There is about an inch between each strip or so it looks a little odd but you can't really see it (the trunk one you can).

I used Metra 40-LX11 as well, different USB though. I wanted the ability to use AUX if I had to and my "premium" 2013 one didn't have the cable for some reason. I used Metra AX-USB-35EXT.
